Which is why I always chuckle when I read "I got x mpg" when they really mean is "the trip comp says x mpg but I really got (x - n) mpg" when n is a scarily big number.

Poverty level D3 so no GPS. Which for getting somewhere is a good thing.

From back in 2014
I was going down hill with a wind behind me. Didn't last long before it returned to about 30

I'll be heading through Andorra in early October, have already planned my record attempt place. Needs a long straight slope that's not too steep that seat covers are needed.

I took that pic on my way home doing around 50mph on a slight/reasonable downhill. Tried again lastnight on my way home and got a different figure
You might be able to match that figure but I don't think you could beat it

Not what the speedo shows in the pic you took at 50mph.

Very well spotted.
Well I had to pull in to take that picture as its illegal here to hold a mobile while driving. But the figures came up while I was driving. While I was coming home from work last night we (not me, I was driving) took another one with a higher MPG. This pic was taken while traveling at just over 70kmh. I'll wait and see if others put up a higher MPG before showing what I got
